The walls of the Blackwood estate had always been cold, but tonight, they were colder.

Ana stood stiffly in the center of the marble-floored foyer, the chandelier above casting fractured light over her wedding dress. Not a flower out of place. Not a smile on her lips.

Alex Blackwood didn't speak. His tailored suit was pristine, his posture rigid-like he was attending a board meeting, not standing beside his new wife. The silence between them was a battlefield, crackling with tension neither of them bothered to mask.

Their marriage had been signed with pens, not promises. Witnessed by lawyers, not loved ones.

The deal was simple: Alex got the money to rescue his father's failing empire. Ana became the bride her father proudly offered, the perfect token of loyalty in a billion-dollar merger.

His unwanted bride ✔️ (edited) by talesbynoor

Ailzeh wasn't supposed to be here. She had finished early, decided to surprise him. But as she stepped into his office, her smile froze. A woman stood too close, laughing, her hand on his arm. And Saad-he didn't push her away. His gaze met hers, panic flashing in his eyes. "Ailzeh-" She turned and walked away. He caught up in the elevator. "Let me explain-" "Don't." Her voice was deadly quiet. "Ailzeh, it's not-" "I don't care." The doors slid open. She left. --- At home, her hands trembled as she pulled out a contract. Her name. His name. "Marriage is a business agreement. Divorce upon completion of terms." Her breath hitched. A choked laugh slipped past her lips. The door burst open. "Ailzeh-" She turned, eyes burning. Saad paled at the contract in her hands. "You were going to divorce me," she whispered. "Ailzeh, listen-" She threw the papers at him. "Tell me I'm wrong!" He flinched. "I-" She laughed bitterly. "You can't." "I never planned to go through with it-" "Oh? So you strung me along instead?" Her voice cracked. Pain flickered across his face. "Ailzeh-" "I trusted you." Her voice was hoarse, thick with betrayal.

The Hijabi's Boss by The_Clothed_Gurl

"No Khaled, I can't. You deserve someone wealthier. Someone who can fit in your family easily and lives by your culture. Someone who is smart and beautiful. You deserve someone who can stand by your side and does not get destroyed by her problems." My voice cracked and my eyes focused on his crooked nose. "Tell me that while you're looking in my eyes and I will not bother you anymore." He said softly. I gathered my strength and locked my eyes with his. "I can't be with you." It was like the light vanished from his eyes as he said "Very well. As you wish Dr.Sabrinna ,You may leave." His voice was so stern and cold that it stabbed my heart. He became heartless again like the boss he was. And it was my fault. _______________

Chasing Mr Malhotra by MeeraAgrawal7

"You're leaving?" she asked, the words catching like thorns in her throat. Virat didn't look up from his suitcase. "I got the Berlin offer. I accepted." Ananya laughed-sharp, hollow. "Right. Because what's a few months of marriage to you, anyway? You didn't even fight." He finally turned. Calm. Wounded. Dangerous in his stillness. "Fight for what, Ananya?" he said. "You never wanted me. You wanted a pawn. A placeholder. A revenge story with cheekbones." She took a step forward. "Maybe. At first." Silence. Then softer. "But I do now." Virat blinked. Just once. As if the words had cut something open inside him. "Too late," he said. She grabbed his wrist, voice shaking. "It's not. I don't care if you hate me. I'm not letting you go." He smiled then-tired, unfairly beautiful. "Then convince me. Make me stay." Scene- 2 "What if I make you strip - Mr Malhotra?" "Umm- a - I - I have work" He kind of stammered getting up from bed. She laughed like she never did in years. "Dare You step out the room and see what I do? I will make sure your boss throws You out of your company" she suppressed her laugh and composes herself warning him. "Really? Ananya, fine I will strip if you could take it" he starts unbuttoning his shirt with full confidence as he thought she would back off after this but no she smirks and shameless stares at him saying, " Waiting dear husband."

The Revenge Wife by MaryRose_Author

COMPLETE Let me make this crystal clear, because you don't seem to understand," he said, his voice deceptively calm, but laced with venom. "I paid for you to be my wife. That means you do what I say. You're mine now." He flicked a check toward me, and it fluttered to the ground between us. I couldn't look away from him, though my chest tightened in panic. My hands shook as I fought back tears, refusing to let him see me break. But he wasn't finished. "What did you expect?" he scoffed, eyes narrowing. "This is what gold diggers like you get. Money has a price, and now you're paying yours. Enjoy it, wife." Without another word, he turned and walked away, leaving me standing in the massive, empty living room-speechless, breathless, and drowning in disbelief. I never expected this. © MaryRose 2018.
